I think it means that you are there when john higgins plays well and returns the summets like since 2015.




And he is not wrong..

sorry for posting when my favourite wins. ill go back to just reading if it bothers folk so much. ronnie fans are touchy today?

How is it only quarter past three? I want to go home to my pizza, beer and snooker.

GJ's disappearance coincides with Robbo's complete loss of form. When Robbo drops out of the top 16, we will never see GJ.

Not at all. This is an observation.

You're only there when your favorite player is in shape.

Skullman seems to assume that the other posters do not have BBC on their tv. He provides a constant running commentary of every banal incident that happens.

This is a miss festival so far between Basher and Milkman.

In fact if everyone reacted like it, if higgins robertson selby ding and trump no longer play or very badly the forum is dead.

Trumps one visit game has been very weak since his win in Romania

No worries, mate. There's always the brilliant Mark Allen and his fabulous TWITTER ATTACKS to warm our cold winter days.

I react inversely

If I see that my favorite player goes through a bad pass it makes me more incentive to encourage him and to be behind him, and to analyze what he is not going in his game.


Come on the forum to say that such is the greatest of all time and that it will never be outdated does not interest me too much.

After it takes all types of fan.

Yet he won a lot of frames this week in one visit.

Trump isnt really gonna lose this, is he?

Unlike the excellent analysis you provide.

Trump also has a hard time finding consistency in his game.

So much will he shine on a match, and the next match he's going to be bad.

He did not actually B game either.

For the moment I do not see him world champion once in his career.

Sounds pretty much like Ronnie's first decade as a pro.

There's another real hammer of a poster who copies and pastes Twitter all day. I'm not naming names but I understand he occasionally works as a body double for Stephen Lee.

Yes i agree.

But trump is beginning to age. I'm not saying he's old but it's time he won a world title.

And his last title of the triple crown goes back far and wide.


And I do not see any progress in his game. In my opinion his long game will degrade with time and I do not see tactically thin enough to claim to be world champion.

Trump peak game is almost as good as Ronnies. Just needs to keep holding it for a whole tournament. In 2015 he was playing by far the best Snooker in the WC before choking against Bingham in the semis.

Even though he's not my favourite player I want him to win one World title at least.

But he should be in his prime now and beating the likes of Milkins without any problems. That's what Ronnie would have done at this age.

His long game has degraded already, it's not as good as it was 5 years ago which was jaw dropping. But it's still as good as anyone's. I don't agree with what you say about his tactical game. Trump has improved immensely both on safety and tactics. He ain't that naive boy anymore and he's winning tactical battles more often than he's losing. Trump's greatest weakness is the fact he seems to struggle to keep his focus long enough during a match, there's always unforced errors that come up even in moments when it's least expected.

As long as they're not 'feely'...

Mark Allen and Mark Williams had some battle over twitter with Allen saying that Williams won his world titles in a weak era.

Mark Allen has some really serious issues with his brain.

Mark Allen is just doing it for the attention now. He realises he doesn't have the game to stay relevant at the moment.

Careful. You're starting to sound like PoolBoy.

We wouldn't want that would we..

Disappointed to have missed the game - what an unusual decision to feature it as the lunchtime match!

I agree with you, Andre, it has been a decent year (2016) for Ronnie. Two tournament wins is only behind Selby for the calendar year.
Trump claimed two, and Higgins likewise took two titles - although neither added to his ranking event total.

So, not all bad for O'Sullivan.
Indeed, the excellent CueTracker shows that he will finish 3rd in the list for snooker prize-money earned during 2016. http://cuetracker.net/Statistics/Prize-Money/Won/Year

Whilst we're talking about massive bellends with Twitter accounts, here's CJ from Egghead's opion.

#homenations I like the 128 format with players having to earn or keep a top 16 place. I think @markwil147 has another tournament in him!
